About this episode

This episode discusses the discomfort experienced during a career change and reframes it as a sign of progress towards meaningful work.

You left corporate to find work that actually means something to you. And right now that process feels messy. Uncomfortable. Maybe even a bit lost. Here's a reframe: what if that discomfort isn't a sign you're doing it wrong? What if it's actually the surest sign you're heading in the right direction? It builds well before you ever hand in your notice, peaks once the structure of your old role disappears, and only eases as you build something real to stand on, then it shows up again the next time you're ready to grow. This episode is about recalibrating what "good" is supposed to feel like once you've left the version of success that used to define you. If you're in the messy middle of your career change and that discomfort keeps showing up as your try to move forward, this one's for you.
